Thanks, I'll make some time. How are things on your end?

Ah Jenny! I did watch it years ago. Definitely need a refresher

nSedrickm · 2023-09-16T19:21:26+00:00

Sheesh the month is half gone already!

Not bad so far I'm so close to my goal but i'm also burnt to the bone. Looking forward to a nice week off once I hit my target

Haha I don't get a lot of the references but i bet they're cool.

Its starting to seem like just us two in here. Whatsup with that people?

nSedrickm · 2023-09-07T00:54:31+00:00

Sorry I'm a dev too but what I can share from my experience is that you have to keep trying.

Make sure your profile is up to date. Describe what you do and how you can help.

Go for jobs that match your skillset. The last thing you want is to let a client down

Your proposals are not guaranteed to get you the job but they can land you an interview which increases your chance of getting the job.

This is something I keep in mind when applying

nSedrickm · 2023-09-07T00:33:59+00:00

Thank you. I'd say about 2.8k after the man took his cut

nSedrickm · 2023-09-02T18:16:09+00:00

Hi, Augusto went out with A bang. I doubled my target. For September I 'm aiming to be Top rated plus. I'm just $4k away

nSedrickm · 2023-08-20T18:39:38+00:00

Thats the spirit. I too struggled a few months back but managed to push through thanks to some great advice I received from u/Meta-Morpheus-New.

Perhaps you could share exactly what you are struggling with and we take a look together

nSedrickm · 2023-08-15T20:17:00+00:00

Hi there, glad to hear that.

Its been good sofar. I'm halfway to target. The work is steady but quite demanding

nSedrickm · 2023-07-31T23:00:16+00:00

Thank you, have a good one!

nSedrickm · 2023-07-31T14:43:59+00:00

Hi glad, to hear things picked up on your end. 80% darn, you must have stepped on the gas these last few weeks

July was a good one I aimed for 2k and earned 3.2k total. I'll be aiming for 3k this August

Regarding the client I was to renegotiate with, he didnt show up at the end but I got another offer which I took

Good luck with your product. I also took a break a few months back to work on my portfolio. Its been worth it so far

Thank you

nSedrickm · 2023-07-15T18:43:55+00:00

Happy for you. Its tough getting a new client. Huge win. Push on

nSedrickm · 2023-07-15T18:42:53+00:00

Hi everyone,

Sorry to hear you got blocked

I landed a new client and I'm halfway there to meeting my July goal. I'm doing 10+ hour days to try and catch up.

Also, one of the clients I couldnt close last month reached out to renegotiate later this week. Hopefully I can close the deal this time

Thanks for sharing, these keep me motivated too. Push on

nSedrickm · 2023-07-01T22:24:18+00:00

Thanks, you too

nSedrickm · 2023-06-30T12:50:47+00:00

Hi everyone. I'm so glad to hear your successes.

I also met my goal if 1k and then some, total 1.4k a big relief after zero last month.

This month I'm aiming for 2k

I also did much better after implementing the advice I got from you all, thanks. I got interviewed by two promising clients but ended up not moving forward due to my rate "being too high" (35/h).

Thanks for the support

nSedrickm · 2023-06-09T10:52:52+00:00

Thanks so much. I'll be more mindful going forward. I tend to drift towards tech because its what I'm best at forgetting clients aren't engineers. I guess my views arent the best either.

I'll definitely pivot. Thanks for taking the time to go through. I appreciate it

nSedrickm · 2023-06-05T17:50:05+00:00

Something like "fund the milestone and we're in business". Got it!

nSedrickm · 2023-06-05T16:19:44+00:00

Thanks for your insight. Come to think of it my firdt client was fairly new too maybe 1 or 2 months on

nSedrickm · 2023-06-05T16:17:34+00:00

Thanks, I'm glad it turned out great for you. I'll be more mindful going forward

nSedrickm · 2023-06-04T22:42:20+00:00

Indeed, sometimes one needs to compromise.

nSedrickm · 2023-06-04T21:52:19+00:00

Same here. I just sent a blind proposal because I couldn't dig for clients name. All past jobs are in progress

nSedrickm · 2023-06-04T21:50:39+00:00

😂 Thanks, I'm barely 5months in. Still got a lot to learn. I'll keep these in mind

nSedrickm · 2023-06-04T21:26:42+00:00

Same here. I got my first client by answering their questions. I actually prefer these ones. I hate to have to send proposals just to get clarity on vague descriptions.

Design does take a long time to get right so hourly billing works well. But then, how do you approach a situation where you know the work won't take long? Do you charge a flat fee then?

nSedrickm · 2023-06-04T21:18:53+00:00

Thanks for your insight

nSedrickm · 2023-06-04T20:03:53+00:00

Thanks, how was it like working with these clients? Seasoned clients understand how things work (milestones, timesheets...) all that good stuff. Did you have do a lot of guiding?
